The side panel is forceably-coupled with a wind deflector (24). An end of the side panel is connected with the frame, and an opposite end of the side panel is connected with the deflector in a flexible manner. The side panel is connected with the deflector by a swivel joint (30).The cover is not engaged with the side panel.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schiebedachsystem mit einem Rahmen, einem Deckel, der zwischen einer geschlossenen Stellung, einer Lüfterstellung und einer geöffneten Stellung verschiebbar ist, einem Windabweiser und einer Seitenblende, die sich seitlich entlang des Rahmens, unterhalb des Deckels erstreckt, wenn der Deckel in der Lüfterstellung, in einer teilweise geöffneten oder der geöffneten Stellung ist.The invention relates to a sliding roof system with a frame, a cover which is displaceable between a closed position, a fan position and an open position, a wind deflector and a side panel which extends laterally along the frame, below the lid, when the lid in the Fan position, in a partially open or open position.

Bei bekannten Schiebedachsystemen kann ein Deckel eine Dachöffnung vollständig oder teilweise freigeben, da er verfahrbar an einer Führungsschiene angebracht ist, die sich an den Seitenrändern der Dachöffnung befindet und Teil eines Rahmens ist. Ferner kann eine Lüfterstellung eingenommen werden, indem der Deckel an seinem hinteren Ende ausgestellt wird.In known sunroof systems, a cover may fully or partially release a roof opening, as it is movably mounted on a guide rail located at the side edges of the roof opening and forming part of a frame. Furthermore, a ventilation position can be taken by the lid is issued at its rear end.

Wenn der Deckel geschlossen wird, besteht die Gefahr, daß in dem immer kleiner werdenden Spalt zwischen Deckel und Dach ein Körperteil eines Fahrzeuginsassen eingeklemmt wird; beispielsweise wenn dieser seine Hand am Rand der Dachöffnung ablegt, um sich vom Frischluftstrom erfrischen zu lassen. Um dies zu verhindern, werden bei bekannten Schiebedachsystemen Einklemmschutzvorrichtungen eingebaut, die z.B. über die Strommessung des Deckelantriebmotors, durch Messung der Ankerdrehzahl, durch Schaltmatten oder Sicherheitskontaktleisten ein Einklemmen einer Hand oder Ähnlichem feststellen und die Schließbewegung des Deckels stoppen. Auch sind Blenden bekannt, die beim Schließen des Deckels aus der teilweise oder vollständig geöffneten Stellung einen sicheren Einklemmschutz gewährleisten. Die bekannten Vorrichtungen sind jedoch von begrenzter Wirksamkeit, wenn der Deckel aus der Lüfterstellung geschlossen wird. Aufgrund der dann herrschenden Hebelverhältnisse sprechen die bekannten Einklemmschutzvorrichtungen nicht immer im gewünschten Maße an.When the lid is closed, there is a risk that in the ever-smaller gap between the lid and roof, a body part of a vehicle occupant is clamped; For example, if this puts his hand on the edge of the roof opening to refresh yourself from the fresh air flow. To prevent this, anti-pinch devices are installed in known sunroof systems, for example, via the current measurement of the cover drive motor, by measuring the armature speed, by switching mats or safety contact strips pinching a hand or the like notice and stop the closing movement of the lid. Also diaphragms are known to ensure a safe anti-trap when closing the lid from the partially or fully open position. The known devices are however, of limited effectiveness when the lid is closed from the fan position. Due to the then prevailing leverage, the known anti-trap devices do not always respond to the desired extent.

Daher sind Schiebedachsysteme bekannt, bei denen eine Blende vorgesehen ist, die den seitlichen Spalt zwischen Deckel und Dach unzugänglich macht. Aus der DE 34 42 616 A1 ist eine streifenförmige Blende und aus der DE 33 08 065 A1 eine ziehharmonikaartige Blende bekannt. Beide Blenden sind fest mit dem Deckel und der Führungsmechanik verbunden und können deswegen nur bei sogenannten Schiebehebedächern, bei denen der Deckel beim Zurückfahren unter die feste Dachhaut bewegt wird und nicht bei sogenannten Spoilerdächern verwendet werden, bei denen der Deckel über die Dachhaut verschoben wird.Therefore, sunroof systems are known in which a panel is provided which makes the lateral gap between the lid and roof inaccessible. From the DE 34 42 616 A1 is a strip-shaped aperture and out of the DE 33 08 065 A1 an accordion-like aperture known. Both panels are firmly connected to the lid and the guide mechanism and therefore can only be used in so-called Schiebehebedächern in which the lid is moved back under the fixed roof skin and not used in so-called spoiler roofs, in which the cover is moved over the roof skin.

Aus der gattungsbildenden EP 1 632 376 ist ein Schiebedachsystem mit einer Seitenblende bekannt, die an ihrem vorderen Ende über eine Kulissenführung begrenzt beweglich mit einem Windabweiser und an ihrem hinteren Ende schwenkbar an einer Führungsschiene gekoppelt ist. Wenn der Deckel in der geschlossenen Stellung ist, liegt er an der Seitenblende an und hält sie in der abgesenkten Stellung. Sobald der Deckel in der Lüfterstellung ist, gibt er den hinteren Rand der Seitenblende frei. Da die Seitenblende begrenzt beweglich mit dem Windabweiser gekoppelt ist, ist ein Längenausgleich möglich, und der hintere Rand der Seitenblende kann sich nach oben in eine Abdeckstellung bewegen. Die Kulissenführung erlaubt also einen Längenausgleich und somit ein Verstellen der Seitenblende unabhängig von einer Bewegung des Windabweisers.From the generic EP 1 632 376 a sunroof system with a side panel is known, which is limited at its front end via a slotted guide movably coupled to a wind deflector and at its rear end pivotally mounted on a guide rail. When the lid is in the closed position, it bears against the side panel and holds it in the lowered position. Once the lid is in the fan position, it releases the rear edge of the side panel. Since the side panel is limitedly movable coupled to the wind deflector, a length compensation is possible, and the rear edge of the side panel can move upwards in a covering position. The slotted guide thus allows a length compensation and thus an adjustment of the side panel regardless of a movement of the wind deflector.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Schiebedachsystem zu schaffen, das einen Einklemmschutz schafft und kostengünstig herzustellen ist.The object of the invention is to provide a sunroof system, which provides a anti-trap and is inexpensive to manufacture.

Dies wird bei einem eingangs genannten Schiebedachsystem dadurch erreicht, daß die Seitenblende mit dem Windabweiser zwangsgekoppelt ist. Die Seitenblende ist so mit dem Windabweiser verbunden, daß sie bei einer Bewegung des Windabweisers verstellt wird. Die Seitenblende wird nur, d.h. allein, durch die Bewegung des Windabweisers verstellt und muß nicht separat angesteuert werden. Die Seitenblende kann daher unabhängig vom Deckel angehoben und abgesenkt werden. Der Deckel greift erfindungsgemäß nicht an der Seitenblende an, so daß Anschläge am Deckel entfallen. Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß das Schiebedachsystem auch bei Spoilerdächern angewendet werden kann, da keine feste Koppelung zwischen Seitenblende und Deckel besteht und somit ein Zurückfahren des Deckels ohne Seitenblende über die Dachhaut ermöglicht ist.This is achieved in a sunroof system mentioned above in that the side panel is positively coupled to the wind deflector. The side panel is connected to the wind deflector so that it is adjusted during movement of the wind deflector. The side panel is only, ie alone, adjusted by the movement of the wind deflector and does not need to be controlled separately. The side panel can therefore be raised and lowered independently of the lid. The lid does not attack the invention on the side panel, so that eliminates attacks on the lid. The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that the sunroof system can be applied to spoiler roofs, as no fixed coupling between Side panel and cover is made and thus a return of the lid without side panel over the roof skin is possible.

Vorzugsweise ist ein Ende der Seitenblende mit dem Rahmen verbunden und das entgegengesetzte Ende gelenkig mit dem Windabweiser verbunden. Die Seitenblende wird aufgrund der Zwangskopplung erst angehoben, wenn der Windabweiser ausgestellt wird. Das hintere Ende der Seitenblende, das am Rahmen befestigt ist, bleibt deswegen in der versenkten Stellung, selbst wenn der Deckel in die Lüfterstellung bewegt wurde.Preferably, one end of the side panel is connected to the frame and the opposite end is pivotally connected to the wind deflector. The side panel is raised due to the forced coupling only when the wind deflector is issued. The rear end of the side panel attached to the frame therefore remains in the retracted position even when the lid is moved to the fan position.

Insbesondere ist die Seitenblende über ein Drehgelenk mit dem Windabweiser verbunden. Bei einer Bewegung des Windabweisers wird die Seitenblende mitgenommen. Das Drehgelenk kann einfach und somit kostengünstig hergestellt werden.In particular, the side panel is connected via a rotary joint with the wind deflector. During a movement of the wind deflector, the side panel is taken. The swivel joint can be easily and thus inexpensively manufactured.

Die Seitenblende wird z.B. von einer Feder in eine angehobene Stellung beaufschlagt. Die Feder, die insbesondere eine Schenkelfeder ist, drückt das (in Fahrtrichtung gesehen) hintere Ende der Seitenblende in die angehobene Stellung, sobald der Windabweiser in die angehobene Stellung beaufschlagt wurde.The side panel is e.g. acted upon by a spring in a raised position. The spring, which is in particular a leg spring, pushes the rear end of the side panel (seen in the direction of travel) in the raised position as soon as the wind deflector has been acted upon in the raised position.

Vorzugsweise ist die Seiten blende eine Kunststoffplatte, die den Spalt zwischen dem Deckel und dem Rahmen in allen Stellungen des Deckels abdeckt.Preferably, the side panel is a plastic plate covering the gap between the lid and the frame in all positions of the lid.

Gemäß der bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird der Windabweiser von einer Windabweiserfeder in die angehobene Stellung beaufschlagt. Die Windabweiserfeder ist insbesondere eine Schenkelfeder und beaufschlagt den Windabweiser in die angehobene Stellung, sobald der Deckel oder die Führungsmechanik nicht mehr am Windabweiser angreift, also in einer teilweise oder vollständig geöffneten Stellung ist.According to the preferred embodiment of the wind deflector is acted upon by a Windabweiserfeder in the raised position. The wind deflector spring is in particular a leg spring and acts on the wind deflector in the raised position as soon as the cover or the guide mechanism no longer acts on the wind deflector, that is in a partially or fully opened position.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer Ausführungsform beschrieben, die in den Zeichnungen dargestellt ist. In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

  • Figur 1 schematisch ein Fahrzeugdach mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Schiebedachsystem mit einem Deckel in einer teilweise geöffneten Stellung, einer Seitenblende und einem Windabweiser in der angehobenen Stellung, und
  • Figur 2 eine schematische Perspektivansicht des Schiebedachsystems mit dem Windabweiser und der Seiten blende in der angehobenen Stellung.
The invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. In the drawings show:
  • FIG. 1 schematically a vehicle roof with a sunroof system according to the invention with a lid in a partially open position, a side panel and a wind deflector in the raised position, and
  • FIG. 2 a schematic perspective view of the sunroof system with the wind deflector and the side panel in the raised position.

In Figur 1 ist ein Fahrzeugdach gezeigt, das mit einem Schiebedachsystem versehen ist. Das Schiebedachsystem weist eine Dachöffnung 10 in einem festen Dachteil 12 auf.In FIG. 1 a vehicle roof is shown, which is provided with a sunroof system. The sunroof system has a roof opening 10 in a fixed roof part 12.

Die Dachöffnung 10 kann durch einen parallel zur Längsrichtung des Fahrzeugs verschiebbaren Deckel 14 teilweise oder vollständig freigelegt werden, da er verfahrbar an einer Führungsschiene 15 angebracht ist. Jeweils eine Führungsschiene 15 erstreckt sich dabei parallel zur Längsrichtung des Fahrzeugs, wobei die Führungsschienen 15 Teil eines Rahmens 20 sind. Ferner kann der Deckel 14 in eine Lüfterstellung ausgestellt werden, indem ein hinterer Rand 16 des Deckels 14 angehoben wird. Figur 1 zeigt den Deckel 14 in einer teilweise geöffneten Stellung.The roof opening 10 can be partially or completely uncovered by a cover 14 which can be displaced parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, since it is movably mounted on a guide rail 15. In each case, a guide rail 15 extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, wherein the guide rails 15 are part of a frame 20. Furthermore, the lid 14 can be issued in a fan position by a rear edge 16 of the lid 14 is raised. FIG. 1 shows the lid 14 in a partially open position.

Am vorderen Rand der Dachöffnung 10 ist ein Windabweiser 24 angeordnet. Bei dem Windabweiser 24 handelt es sich um ein U-förmiges, starres Bauteil, das schwenkbar an einer Lagerstelle 26 (Figur 2) am Rahmen 20, insbesondere an der Führungsschiene 15, befestigt ist. An dem U-förmigen Bauteil ist beispielsweise ein Gewebe aus einem flexiblen und luftdurchlässigen Material vorgesehen. Eine schematisch gezeigte Windabweiserfeder 28, die an den Windabweiser 24 gekoppelt ist, kann ihn in die angehobene Stellung beaufschlagen. Der Windabweiser 24 hat die Funktion, die Strömungsverhältnisse dann zu verbessern, wenn sich der verstellbare Deckel 14 des Schiebedachsystems in einer zumindest teilweise geöffneten Stellung befindet.At the front edge of the roof opening 10, a wind deflector 24 is arranged. The wind deflector 24 is a U-shaped rigid member pivotally mounted on a bearing 26 (FIG. FIG. 2 ) is attached to the frame 20, in particular on the guide rail 15. For example, a fabric of a flexible and air-permeable material is provided on the U-shaped component. A wind deflector spring 28 shown schematically, which is coupled to the wind deflector 24, can act on it in the raised position. The wind deflector 24 has the function of improving the flow conditions when the adjustable cover 14 of the sliding roof system is in an at least partially open position.

Unterhalb des Deckels 14 ist eine Seitenblende 18 angeordnet, die sich seitlich entlang des Rahmens 20 erstreckt und einen Spalt zwischen dem Deckel 14 und der Führungsschiene 15 abdeckt. Bei der Seitenblende 18 handelt es sich um eine im allgemeinen dreieckige Kunststoffplatte, die an ihrem vorderen Ende über ein Drehgelenk 30 mit dem Windabweiser 24 zwangsgekoppelt ist. An ihrem hinteren Ende ist die Seitenblende 18 gelenkig mit dem Rahmen 20 verbunden. Dabei ist eine Stange 32 vorgesehen, die einerseits gelenkig mit der Seitenblende 18 und andererseits gelenkig mit dem Rahmen 20 verbunden ist.Below the lid 14, a side panel 18 is arranged, which extends laterally along the frame 20 and covers a gap between the lid 14 and the guide rail 15. In the side panel 18 is a generally triangular plastic plate which is positively coupled at its front end via a hinge 30 to the wind deflector 24. At its rear end, the side panel 18 is pivotally connected to the frame 20. In this case, a rod 32 is provided, which is connected on the one hand articulated to the side panel 18 and on the other hand articulated to the frame 20.

Wenn der Deckel 14 in der geschlossenen Stellung ist, hält der vordere Abschnitt des Deckels 14 den Windabweiser 24 entgegen der Wirkung der Windabweiserfeder 28 in der versenkten Stellung. Die Seiten blende 18, die über das Drehgelenk 30 mit dem Windabweiser 24 verbunden ist, erstreckt sich seitlich entlang des Rahmens 20 unterhalb des Deckels 14.When the lid 14 is in the closed position, the front portion of the lid 14 holds the wind deflector 24 against the action of the wind deflector spring 28 in the retracted position. The side panel 18, which is connected via the rotary joint 30 with the wind deflector 24, extends laterally along the frame 20 below the lid 14th

Das Ausstellen des Deckels 14 in die Lüfterstellung erfolgt motorisch und ist bekannt. In der Lüfterstellung befindet sich der vordere Rand des Deckels 14 in einer nicht angehobenen Stellung. Dadurch hält der vordere Rand des Deckels 14 oder eine Führungsmechanik den Windabweiser 24 weiterhin in der versenkten Stellung, und auch die Seitenblende 18 wird in der Stellung gehalten, in der sie seitlich entlang des Rahmens 20 liegt. Obwohl der hintere Rand 16 des Deckels 14 angehoben wurde, um die Lüfterstellung zu erreichen, konnte sich nämlich der hintere Abschnitt der Seitenblende 18 nicht nach oben bewegen, da die Seitenblende 18 mit dem Windabweiser 24 zwangsgekoppelt ist und an ihrem (in Fahrtrichtung gesehen) hinteren Rand unverschieblich gelagert ist. Die Seitenblende 18 deckt in ihrer versenkten Stellung, insbesondere aufgrund ihrer dreieckigen Form, einen Spalt zwischen dem Deckel 14 und dem Rahmen 20 ab und bietet so einen Einklemmschutz, wenn der Deckel 14 in der Lüfterstellung ist.Issuing the lid 14 in the fan position is motorized and is known. In the fan position, the front edge of the lid 14 is in a non-raised position. Thus, the front edge of the lid 14 or a guide mechanism keeps the wind deflector 24 in the retracted position, and also the side panel 18 is held in the position in which it lies laterally along the frame 20. In fact, although the rear edge 16 of the lid 14 has been raised to reach the fan position, the rear portion of the side panel 18 could not move up because the side panel 18 is forcibly coupled to the wind deflector 24 and at its rear (seen in the direction of travel) Rand is immovably stored. The side panel 18 covers in its retracted position, in particular due to its triangular shape, a gap between the lid 14 and the frame 20 and thus provides an anti-trap when the lid 14 is in the fan position.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen das Schiebedachsystem mit dem Deckel 14 in einer teilweise geöffneten Stellung. Durch die Bewegung des Deckels 14 nach hinten wurde der Windabweiser 24 freigegeben. Dadurch konnte er von der vorgespannten Windabweiserfeder 28 nach oben in die angehobene Stellung bewegt werden. Dabei wurde der vordere Abschnitt der Seiten blende 18 aufgrund der Zwangskopplung mitgenommen und die Seitenblende 18 nach hinten verschoben. Die Stange 32, die von einer Feder 34 im Uhrzeigersinn beaufschlagt wird, ermöglicht den notwendigen Längsausgleich. In dieser Stellung deckt die Seitenblende 18 einen Spalt zwischen dem Deckel 14 und dem Dachteil 12 ab und verursacht keine störenden Nebengeräusche aufgrund der Windströmung.The FIGS. 1 and 2 show the sunroof system with the lid 14 in a partially open position. By the movement of the cover 14 to the rear of the wind deflector 24 has been released. This allowed him to be moved by the prestressed wind deflector spring 28 upwards in the raised position. In this case, the front portion of the side panel 18 was entrained due to the forced coupling and the side panel 18 is moved backwards. The rod 32, which is acted upon by a spring 34 in a clockwise direction, allows the necessary longitudinal compensation. In this position, the side panel 18 covers a gap between the lid 14 and the roof part 12 and causes no disturbing noise due to the wind flow.

Um die Ausgangsstellung erneut herzustellen, wird der Deckel 14 in die geschlossene Stellung gefahren. Dabei drückt er den Windabweiser 24 nach unten und spannt die Windabweiserfeder 28 vor. Der vordere Abschnitt der Seitenblende 18 wird vom Windabweiser 24 nach unten in ihre abgesenkte Stellung gezogen, und die Stange 32 am hinteren Ende der Seitenblende 18 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn geschwenkt, wodurch die Feder 34 vorgespannt wird.To re-establish the starting position, the lid 14 is moved to the closed position. He presses the wind deflector 24 down and biases the Windabweiserfeder 28 before. The front portion of the side panel 18 is pulled down by the wind deflector 24 to its lowered position, and the rod 32 at the rear end of the side panel 18 is pivoted counterclockwise, whereby the spring 34 is biased.

Die Feder 34, die an der Stange 32 angreift, könnte auch entfallen.The spring 34, which acts on the rod 32, could also be omitted.

Die Seitenblende 18 wird allein durch die Zwangskopplung mit dem Deckel 14 abgesenkt und angehoben.The side panel 18 is lowered and raised solely by the positive coupling with the lid 14.
